Ann Arbor — No surprise here, but Cade McNamara is Michigan’s starting quarterback heading into the season opener.
Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh, who had said McNamara was the No. 1 quarterback coming out of spring practice, said Monday that McNamara has made “constant improvement” in a number of areas. Michigan opens against Western Michigan on Saturday at Michigan Stadium.
McNamara, 6-foot-1, 212 pounds, started the last of Michigan’s six games last season after taking over for starter Joe Milton while trailing by 17 at Rutgers and leading the Wolverines to a triple-overtime victory.
